HARD COPIES of these forms are NO LONGER being reviewed since September 1, 2013

--except for the Affidavit of Support, everything else DS260 and DS261, you should fill out online,

even payments at the CEAC website payment portal is preferred.

I had the same problem before, called NVC and they told me to just fill-out the online form.

DS230's still sent out to us, for no apparent reason, BUT if you send it back to them, they will give you an RFE for not submitting online and will just delay your case. Only AOS's are reviewed on hard copies, other else DS230, DS3032, etc--goes straight to the paper shredder.

Also, i suggest you email NVC right this instant. Once you email them, they will no longer send you communications via snail mail.

They will send in all documents, notices, packets, instructions, through your email from then on. And it will make your case much faster to process than through the old snail mail that they used to do.

In order to ensure a prompt response:

Enter your NVC Case Number or USCIS Receipt Number IN THE SUBJECT LINE of the email.

Provide the applicant’s name and date of birth and the petitioner’s name and date of birth.

The NVC’s email address is NVCINQUIRY@state.gov.

Before your message, type in your case's basic information, and give them your email addresses--petitioner and beneficiaries'

Example:

NVC Case Number: MNL19********

Principal Applicant Full Name And Birthdate:

o Maria ******** / 06-05-1968

Petitioner's Full Name And Birthdate:

o Esteban *********/ 02-03-1962

Names And E-Mail Addresses To Receive Correspondence From The NVC:

o Maria *********, Email Add: maria@yahoo.com

o Esteban *********, Email Add: esteban@yahoo.com

Request By: Maria *****

....AND THEN YOUR MESSAGE

Good Luck!!!

And oh, before I forget, since we are from the Philippines, we cannot send our civil documents (i.e. NBI Clearance, Marriage Certificate, Birth Certificate, CENOMAR, etc) via email. We will have to send it to NVC, stil. Only the DS261 and DS260 we do online.
